Stacking the Shelves: Week 6

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Participants are to create their own Stacking the Shelves post and link bank to Tynga’s Reviews so more people can join the fun!

Posts can be laid out any way you want.

The host site posts updates on a Saturday but bloggers taking part can post any day they choose.

The rules are simple and it is a really fun way to showcase your books and see what other bloggers are excited about this week! Not to mention the fact that it is a good way to interact with and get to know other bloggers!

It is a great service but don’t be too discouraged if you don’t get loads approved right away. I would recommend checking out the ‘read now’ books and taking a bit of time on your profile. I only get approved for about half the books I request mainly because my feedback to approval ratio needs a bit of work but I am working on bringing it up a bit – just need to stop distracting myself with all the shiny new books lol. 😉

Ahhh it’s brilliant when that happens.Inside Out was enjoyable but it just wasn’t as strong as poison study and reminded me a lot of Ally Condie’s Matched. I went a bit kindle book crazy in the summer with their sale cos about 6 books on my wishlist were 99p!….er..they’re still sitting there now haha. Do you prefer e-books or physical books?

I adored poison study but yeah I felt it kinda strayed in the sequels- do you know there is a fourth Study book coming out?! Did you read the spin-off Glass series?

haha definitley, kindle books saves so much room. I prefer physical books but can’t deny the great points of kindles ie. space saving, sometimes cheaper and easier to carry around. Plus I use my kindle to access netflix now too.

I buy my physical books primarily through the amazon marketplace for cheap. Hardbacks can be £2.81 on there and they are often in almost brand new condition! I bought a load around christmas because I knew I’d be leaving my job at the end of january, so I saved up my reading material for the wage-drought hahaha

No I didn’t know there was a fourth book coming out… interesting… think I may need a re-read (and to finally get round to book three!) I haven’t read the spin-off series but I did buy them all several years ago – still sitting on my shelf though. 😉

I love the smell of books (that sounds weird!) and I am always more excited getting a new package of books in the mail than when I download to my kindle but I have gradually leaned more and more towards ebooks since they tend to be cheaper.

I have scoured Amazon marketplace as well and picked up some great deals. It is good for hard to find out-of-print books. Ebay is good for that too!

I would be the same – stock up for when I would be a bit shorter on funds!! Hope you find something new soon. 🙂

I never read the spin off series, the characters for it (which are plugged a lot in either the second or third book, think it’s the third book) just never really gelled with me. I’ve only just bought the Study series in the new uk paperbacks and they’re so purdy on my shelves *.* must re-read soon!

haha I love getting books in the post too, our postie actually says to my mother “what the hell is she buying!?” (to which I say “cheeky get, it’s none of his business!” haha)

thanks, I hope so too- I’ve got my voluntary work which I love and that gets me a little income each month but yeah, hopefully I’ll get something full time sooner rather than later

I will get round to them at some point probably. 🙂 The new covers are very pretty.

Lol that’s funny. I used to collect Living Dead Dolls (still would but funds don’t stretch that far at the moment!) and the postie eventually had to ask what they were (they all come in coffin-shaped boxes). Think his curiosity must have finally gotten the better of him lol.

[…] not really posted any book hauls on this blog since I started it, but I’ve been inspired by Brin’s Book Blog to do this so here are the meme rules followed by my first Book Haul Blog, featuring the books […]
